## **TRUSTEE REPORT FOR THE YEAR TO 31 MARCH 2022** We are very grateful for the continued support we receive but our work continues to be a struggle emotionally and financially. This year we lost nearly £5,000 which is a combination of lower income and the significant increases in costs in all of our expense areas. Our long-term main vet has now moved to work in an animal hospital but his charges were very reasonable, which we can’t get now. The price of dog food gone up enormously and yet is in short supply. We cannot feed our dogs poor quality food as most are emaciated when they arrive so need a good quality food to build them up. The “stay packs” we use have literally doubled in price this year. As a consequence of BREXit we can no longer get any medications from UK. This increases out costs significantly but there are still shortages so we have to source from a greater number of chemists. BREXit also saw the introduction of a duty on dogs coming into the UK. It is not a legal or DEFRA requirement, however, most UK vets are now demanding that dogs should be tested for brucellosis, even though it is not on Cyprus. This also means that tests are not available on Cyprus so blood samples have to be sent to the UK or Germany. Each test is over 80Euros but is considerably less than UK vets charge. We reported that Clare and Simon were moving, however they are now further from the local vets and the airport so our travel costs have increased – while diesel prices have risen like in the UK. Oil prices have also driven air fares higher though we still have problem finding a flight – we work with other charities to share spaces and costs – while we are back to flights only coming to London Gatwick. We rescued 18 dogs in the year (37 in 2021/22). Both the number of needy dogs in the UK combined with the state of the economy has reduced the interest in our dogs, though this year we have taken on more dogs that would otherwise have been lost – which is reflected in the higher kenneling costs. It also means our vet bill is lower this year despite the charge rate going up. We continue to be very grateful to those who work for LCDR and help raise funds, with again special mention to Lesly Pizarro and Louise Wiltshire who again arranged for our annual calendar. We always close thanking each one of our lovely supporters and of course our adopters. The work stops without you. Thank you. ## Clare Phillips Louise James **Clare Phillips Louise James** Trustee Trustee **INCOME & EXPENDITURE SUMMARY to 31 March 2023** |**£**

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention ## Basis of independent examiner’s report My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement. ## Independent examiner’s statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the - 2011 Act and • to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met or (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached Name: Mr Paul Sachs Address: Honeycroft, Week St Mary, Devon EX22 6UL Date: 18 December 2023 LCDR Audit Report 2022-23 ## **LOVE CYPRUS DOG RESCUE** Charity Number 1162877 ## **ACCOUNTS FOR 12 MONTHS ENDING 31 MARCH 2023** |**INCOME**
